Robinson Natatorium echoed with cheers from fans and teammates Friday as Kansas swimming and diving team members competed against each other in the Crimson and Blue Meet.
The lady Crimson squad, strengthened by victories from senior Kristin Nilsen, defeated the Blue team, 141-102. Nilsen swept all three of her events: the 400- and 200-meter individual medley (4:35.09 and 2:09.22) and the 200-meter breast stroke (2:22.94).
From the men's Crimson team, sophomore Tyler Painter cruised past everyone in the 200-meter freestyle (1:41.92), the 500-meter freestyle (4:36.30) and the 400 individual medley (4:07.33). Painter finished second in the 1,650-meter freestyle at the NCAA Championship last year.
In spite of Painter's dominance, the men's Blue squad stole the lead in the final race by winning the everybody free-style, 9-4, and prevailed over the Crimson squad. 128-127.
Senior diver Brian Humphrey took first place in the one- and three-meter dives with a total score of 250.35.
Kansas swimming coach Gary Kemp said the meet was a great way to train for the rest of the season.
Painter said that the training was good for the entire team and that it would prepare them for the Big 12 Invitational.
"It gives them a chance to see where they're at, and it's a great workout," Kemp said. "It's part of our training. The team had a good time with it and we did pretty well across the board."
"If we swim our best, we'll surprise some people," Painter said, "I think we'll finish in the top three realistically."
"We don't point towards the Big 12 Invite. We point towards the end of the season, but we need to get better every weekend."
